Georg Solti - Strauss: Elektra - Speakers Corner LP

2LP, 180g Vinyl — Speakers Corner Decca Reissue

Decca's Elektra is a remarkable account of Strauss's one-act opera. Recorded in 1966 and produced by John Culshaw with an all-star cast led by Birgit Nilsson, this performance captures the work's brutality and atmosphere of nearly uninterrupted hysteria. Georg Solti conducts the Vienna Philharmonic in a searing reading of the frenzied score, building waves of tension toward a cataclysmic close. Reissued by Speakers Corner on 180-gram vinyl, pressed at Pallas.
